Παρουσίαση
Using new tools and methods, Russia's Orient broadens imperial history to include the study of the ethnic, social, and cultural dimensions of the Russian encounter with peoples whose cultures differed profoundly from their own. Fourteen essays develop topics dealing with imperial policies, conceptions of colonial rule, issues of perception, and the complex interactions between Russian colonizers and colonized peoples in territories extending from Kazan and Crimea through Turkestan to the Pacific Coast from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. (From the book cover)" ... the first study of the Russian Empire in English which attempts in a sophisticated way, using the latest developments in colonial studies, to deal not only with imperial rule but with the mutual encounter with the non-Russian peoples... . a new paradigm for looking at the imperial history of tsarist Russia." - Ronald Grigor Suny
" ... ambitious, wide-ranging, and ultimately provocative ... " - Slavic Review
"This excellent volume draws on the expertise of both young and established specialists ... the volume is a pleasure to read." - American Historical Review
" ... a major step toward 'discovering Russian Asia' ... a job well done." - The Russian Review
